Why is my dog sick with diarrhea, orange poop, and acting lethargic?

Question

My dog recently became sick. He tried to throw up one time and he has had some diarrhea since. Some of his poop is orange. I think his butt is sore and he is liking it a lot. You can tell he doesn’t feel good. He is laying around a lot. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | neutered | 7 lbs

Since he seems lethargic, he should be examined by a vet to determine the cause and treat. Your vet can run some tests to help diagnose and then prescribe medications to treat the diarrhea and vomiting. You could also try a bland diet like boiled chicken and white rice and see if that helps. Take a stool sample so your vet can test for parasites.
